Well I don't mean to turn this into a Rabbit/Golf board, but by far this has
been the best place on the net for information. I am continuing to work on
the never ending 86 Cabriolet. I just got it running over the weekend, and
hopped in it to take it for it's maiden cruise (just put a used engine out
of a 91 with 78K on it - car took a left front hit, I did have to install a
brand new cylinder head due to the fuel injection differences) idles strong,
good power. Got a half of a block, heard a relay click, and then the oil
light started flashing. Turned off the car, waited a couple of minutes, and
started it back up. Idles fine, but once you keep a sustained higher RPM, a
relay clicks and the oil light starts flashing. Turn off the engine, turn it
back on and no flashing oil light. Tack up the RMP and hold it for a while,
and it starts blinking. I will try a new sending unit tommorow. I am running
10W40. Any other idea's/comments??
Thanks.
